Yasui: "I want to be well prepared for everything."
After the Meiji Yasuda J1 League 14th Kyoto Sanga F.C. game [MATCH PARTNER RDC] on March 15, Kaito Yasui player who scored the first goal talked about the goal scene and his thoughts on the three consecutive wins.
(Was the goal scene your best zone?)
'Yes, it was. When (Thiago Santana) dropped it, I was already conscious of hitting it, so I felt I could swing (my leg) comfortably.
(You were unusually enthusiastic after the goal and posed with guts, weren't you?)
I tried to imitate the jumping guts pose that Yusuke Matsuo often does.
(You entered the anchor position today, but Samuel Gustafson you have been playing that position all season, what were you conscious of when Yasui entered the position today?)
I was aware that the opponent was coming (from the front), so I was trying to make one-touch movements to clear the ball as much as possible, and I was also trying to clear the ball myself as I was fouled several times. I knew that I could show strength in that area, so if I were Sam (Samuel Gustafson), I would have tried to play that part off well, but I am not Sam, so I was conscious of doing my best in my own game.
(I think the coach may be wondering how he will use you after you played well in today's game, but did you feel that you could do better?)
(I think I was able to play with a lot of energy.
(Is the anchor position the most comfortable for you?)
(Is the anchor position the most comfortable for you?) "I think any position is fine as long as I can play in the game, but I think I can do well in that position, as I did today.
(Did you get the impression from watching from the back that you were passing the ball around in the area near the goal and wondering when you would take a shot?)
(Did you have a sense from the back that you would not shoot there?) "There was that, too, but there were many situations today where we could break it down in our own way, and we were trying to hold the ball, so I think we were a little cautious in some areas.
(In that situation, the goal seemed to show an example of "this is how to shoot", though, didn't it?)
(And the goal was an example of "this is how to shoot"?) "I was already aware that it was a shot, so I was like, 'Thank you very much for dropping it.
(Ayumu Ohata I think you went to get the ball rather quickly when the player seemed to be jammed with the ball, were you conscious of that?)
I was thinking that when I got to the sideback, I had to make an escape route to the side as well, so I talked with Ayumu (Ohata) before the game started and said, 'Please come to me there. But he said, 'I don't need the return,' so I was thinking about how I could handle it myself, but also using it well."
(Normally, I had the impression that there were many situations where you had no choice but to return the ball to the Marius Hoibraten player, but I think it was good for Ohata that he was able to go out to Yasui and immediately attack from there again, wasn't it?)
I think that's good for him to be able to move forward faster."
(I think you were able to show something like 'the anchor of Kaito Yasui' with a different personality than before?)
I think so too. I think I can bring out my strength, and I can cover those areas defensively as well, so I'd like to bring out those areas more and more.
(When you carried the ball, and when you gave instructions to the Naoki Maeda players on the wings to move it, did you have an image of how you would use it in today's game?)
(Did you have an image of how you used the ball in today's game?) "There were times when I had the ball and the opponent didn't come out, so in those situations I would not only pass the ball, but I would also poke around a bit, and if (the opponent) squeezed more, I would watch where the side would be open, and I think I was able to alternate between the two well.
(Did you feel that you often passed the ball in the narrow central area?)
(Did you get the impression that he often passed the ball in the narrow center of the field?
(You won back-to-back games for the first time this season in the previous game, and if you don't win at home today, that will fade away, so you ended up winning three games in a row.)
I am happy for the time being. I am happy, but I scored against Nagoya (Grampus) last time I started, and I also played in the game against (Kawasaki) Frontale, but I was not a starter after that, so I can't let my guard down.
(A little later, you have a game against the top group of FC Machida Zelvia and Vissel Kobe. Do you want to win until then?)
(A little later we have games against and in the top group, do you want to win those games?
(The goal scene was a sharp shot from a grounder, which is one of your specialties, but I guess you always have a fear of a counter shot being bounced back.)
How do you clear that up? "To be honest, I don't think about that. I was only conscious that I was going to take the shot at that moment. I was just thinking about shooting it, and I didn't care if it bounced off the ball or not.
(Have you been practicing low trajectory shooting since you were a child?)
(Have you been practicing low trajectory shots since you were a child?) "I think you have to be able to kick any ball, and today it just happened to be that way, so it flew to a good spot.
